New here and in need of some help. Three months ago I went to the md and said I had pain on rt side when I swallowed it was around the ear- without even looking at me or running some tests right away the answer was tmj. Went to an ent and he put a scope down my throat and sinuses and didnt see any abnormalities, even did a ct scan and did not make a tmj diagnosis- pretty much unsure.

Now is where I am panicking it is terrible pain when I swallow on right side of my throat(by my adams apple), and the ear pain has diminished but it now feels tender around adams apple also. Should I go back to the ent or dentist(tmj)? Can a ent make a tmj diagnosis or is it the dentist? I was a smoker and this made me quit because I am freeking out. My jaw does click alot and ears pop alot also and there is an upper right tooth that needs work also. I am hoping it is tmj cause dont want to even think about the c word. Hope to hear from ya! Thanks.
